Granted I have no particular inside knowledge, but that's not been my understanding of the insurance policies on contracts. A career-ending injury is not the only thing that can be covered. My understanding is that teams can insure against a pitcher losing an entire season to Tommy John or something similar. It seems like it would be like any other insurance, pay a higher premium and the policy will cover more stuff. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-100-million-arm-there-is-insurance-for-that/ --> this article kinda alludes Tommy John surgery being something that can be covered.
Love JV. Helped us to a ring, but it sounds like it's time for him to fly. Salary and injury concerns Replace him with another high quality inning eater.
